Setting an MD5 Hashfile = Token length exception

[Shazgul]

Always getting the error "Hash '/root/.hashcat/hashes/hash': Token length exception" when trying to use Mode 0 with an "hash" File, in the File is simply an Hash stored, nothing more. How to fix that?

Are you sure you're using a proper MD5 hash in the hash file you've specified? Try using a website like this one to make sure you've got the right hash type in that file.

I'm definitely sure that i put a simple MD5 in an File, yes, because i've generated a simple one myself (the word Test123!) just for testing :)

Could you send the file and the hashcat command you're using to crack?

@Shazgul the simplest way to ensure that your file is the hash and nothing else (like a stray hidden character that could mess up the parser) would be to make the file on the command line, like so:

echo "hash_goes_here" > filename_goes_here.hash
